Hello,

I just switched web host. I changed the nameservers to point to my new one, they moved over my database and files. However, my forum wont work. Shows database errors. Well the new host has different name and password for database. So I am wondering, how can i go in and change that informatino via FTP? How can i put in a new database name, username, password, and name it LOCALHOST instead of MYSQLHOST?

Please, any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks
Adam

Have you modified your /includes/config.php file to reflect the login and password changes for your database?

thank you, i did that and well i still seem to be having difficulties, however no emails saying mysql errors. Is there anything else i should know about when switching host?

The error only occurs when you dumb the backup SQL file without transfering the files...You transfered the files so I dont know why you still have this error!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
